Onsite Badge Printing

Our hybrid and sustainable events combine physical and virtual elements to expand your reach and improve accessibility. Meanwhile, our epic AV production services deliver exceptional audio-visual experiences and create experiential events and activations that give you real bang for your buck.

Supporting our communities and working ‘pro bono’ for charity events is key for us and we will always work with other Bedfordshire or local businesses and actively seek out minority owned, independent businesses to work with at every opportunity.

Our services in event management, delegate registration, event staffing, incentive programs, hybrid events, and AV production are designed to empower businesses in achieving their goals.

Our event management is meticulous, responsive, collaborative and dynamic – and we handle every aspect of corporate conferences and events, ensuring flawless execution and boosting attendee engagement and experience.

Our satisfied clients in the automotive, financial services, and legal sectors sing our praises. They appreciate our enthusiastic and committed approach, highlighting over and over again our attention to detail and seamless handling of their ambitious and complex events

We hired Brightspace to help with one of our events. They were very professional, courteous, and very organised. They were quick to respond to queries, excellent at problem-solving and were thorough.

I still can’t quite believe what we collectively pulled off there! The amount of moving parts there were, the challenges, the changes, everything! Thank you for everything. This whole thing would not have happened without you.

Sustainable Events In Bedford

Our commitment lies in re-imagining corporate conferences, product launches and celebratory dinners as a force for good, leaving a positive impact on both the planet and its people.

Our ethos revolves around being a small yet dynamic team, leading with sustainable event management in the events industry and to contribute positively to the Bedford community and the businesses within it.

We’re not just talking the talk; we’re walking the walk. At Brightspace Events, we’re on a mission to tackle the climate emergency head-on.

We’ve declared a “No-Fly Commitment” because we know that air travel is one of the most damaging things we do. If we absolutely must fly for an event-critical reason, we’re going economy, direct routes, and exploring legit carbon offset schemes.

But that’s not all – we’re revolutionising the events and supplier game too. As well as ensuring that ‘impact’ information on destinations and venues is part of the initial conversation, we’re also introducing the idea of delicious meat-free or vegan menus.

And let’s not forget about our supply chain – we’re scrutinising it for the good stuff and actively supporting ethical, minority owned, local businesses.

Our voluntary work in the charity sector sees us currently supporting 4 different charities with their fundraising events to support our commitment to becoming a purpose led business.

We are looking for progress; not perfection. While we’re on the journey to becoming a B-Corp event management company, we know it takes time. But every little step, every change we make, counts. Here’s to creating a positive impact on our planet and your events, one step at a time!
